so maybe this guy didn't know much about bikes, but i'll still take it as a compliment!
my girl asked why people confuse our savages with harleys, and i googled the 883...then asked her what the difference is...she couldn't tell!!
our bikes may not say "potato potato potato" but they do shotgun and magnum blast whenever they please, and THAT'S WHAT MATTERS! lol

A couple weeks ago, a guy in a pick-up pulled over a studied my bike several minutes,... walking all around it, looking it up and down.... and when I approached, he asked... "What country is that from?... "Is it European?"...

In my limited experience, the conversation normally goes something like this; "What you got there, a Sporty?", No it's a Suzuki, "V-twin?" , no, single, "single, what size, 250?" no 650, "No effin' way" Oh yeah, way!
Gotta love the bike.

I think Kawasaki had one earlier, some 305 cc model. If he just said "belt drive" some of the very earliest motorcycles, pre WWI, were belt driven.
So if you want to snap his garter just say "these things 1st came out with belts in 1901"

My 81 440 LTD was belt. Though the belt was pretty wide for the power it had ... belt none the less.
I however do believe honda is yet to make a belt drive bike.
Cool.

Lately I've been running around to various MC dealers to drop adverts about our upcoming ride. Without fail guys have walked around my de-badged bike and asked those questions listed earlier (what it is, 250?, harley? yadda yadda).
And they are ALWAYS shocked that its a 650 and not a Harley. My answer is usually "well I rode in on it, so its clearly not a Harley." or "I ride every day, so clearly its not a Harley".
And if you think I'm not being nice to HD, please note that everywhere I've stopped has had at least one HD in the shop (usually several), or a HD being brought in on a trailer.
And a friend that rides a HD walked in where I was dropping fliers off yesterday and she said she had stopped by the shop to visit her bike and sit on it - it had been in the shop that long getting repairs AGAIN!

that is ridiculous! harleys look good, and IF i could afford one then maybe, but if i have to pay for the bike(and the repairs) i don't want one !
for some reason no one thinks they made a single bigger then 500cc's!
and i actually told someone "no it's not a harley, this one runs" i believe i stole that from yonuh! ahahhahaa
and i want to go to bike week this year, but i'll be on mine not a trailer queen!!!
